[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

Pam mount uses `ofl` from hxtools [1] to kill processes that have open
files on the filesystem mounted.
As we dont have hxtools (and I think we shouldnt), one has to configure
pam mount to use something else, eg `fuser`. This is an attempt to
document that somehow.
